Additional Information
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Handling MDs
The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc from
debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to handle.
However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge
may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To assure
that you can always listen to the highest quality music,
follow the precautions below:
• Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the
shutter open may damage the internal disc.
• Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to the
appropriate positions. The shape of the labels may vary
depending kn the MD brand.
Where to keep the MDs
Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity.
Regular maintenance
Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the cartridge
with a dry cloth.
Note on High-Speed CD Synchro-Recording
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout or noise
in the recording results, or even create unwanted tracks
on the MD. If this happens, clean the CD and record
material to the MD using normal-speed CD Synchro-
Recording only.
System Limitations
The recording system in your deck is radically different
from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is
characterized by the limitations described below. Note,
however, that these limitations are due to the inherent
nature of the MD recording system itself and not to
mechanical causes.
“Disc Full” appears in the display even before
the MD has reached the maximum recording time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
“Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 255 tracks can’t be recorded on the MD. To
continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use
another recordable MD.
“Disc Full” appears before the maximum number
of tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track
count and causing “Disc Full” to appear.
The remaining recording time does not increase
even after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds (when stereo mode is selected),
24 seconds (when monaural mode or LP2 mode is
selected), or 48 seconds (when LP4 mode is selected) in
length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead
to an increase in the recording time.
The total recorded time and the remaining
recordable time on the MD may not total the
maximum recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds (when
stereo mode is selected), 4 seconds (when monaural mode
or LP2 mode is selected), or 8 seconds (when LP4 mode is
selected) each no matter how short the material. The
contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum
recording capacity. Disc space may also be further
reduced by scratches.
Limitations when recording over an existing
track
• The correct remaining recordable time may not be
displayed.
• You may find it impossible to record over a track if that
track has been recorded over several times already. If
this happens, erase the track (see page 28).
• The remaining recordable time may be shortened out of
proportion to the total recorded time.
• Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not
recommended since this may shorten the duration of
the track.
• You may find it impossible to name a track while
recording over an existing track.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout as you’re searching for a point
while monitoring the sound.
Some tracks can’t be combined with others
Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.
